2. Take some oil in a pan. Once it get heated, roast channa daal and uradaal .

3. Once the channa daal and urad daal colour changes, switch off the flame and add cumin seeds in the pan and mix well. Cumin seeds need not be roasted for long as it will lose its flavor. Hence before adding the cumin seeds, it is better to turn off the flame.

5. In the same pan, add some oil and fry garlic and set aside.

7. Fry for few minutes till the radish gets soft. It takes about 7 to 8 minutes. Then add diced tomatoes and fry for another 3 to 4 minutes until tomatoes gets cooked. No need to add water when you fry these items.. But you need to keep a watch over it, as there is no water, it may get burnt easily.. You need to keep stirring it constantly.. If you feel it is very dry, you can sprinkle some water. But dont add more water. It is best to use a flat bottomed nonstick pan, as it will get roasted well and also will not get burnt. 

8. Allow all the items to cool down.

9. Now grind them in to a smooth paste by adding 2 to 3 tablespoon of water. Add few drops of lemon juice and sprinkle some asafoetida powder. Radish chutney is ready !.
